An intelligent onboard robot that can hear voices and identify their positions, sequential star ring lights that can show "greetings", and cool carbon fiber interiors that can be recycled ....These scenes, like those in science fiction movies depicting 2042, are appearing in the 5th CIIE. HiPhi Z, HiPhi’s latest flagship, made its debut at the CIIE. This intelligent coupé with future aesthetics and digital life interactions attracted a lot of attention from visitors and media.

HiPhi Z was unveiled at the CIIE, through which HiPhi efficiently connects to global resources and works hand in hand with its partners to create world-class products

The 5th China International Import Expo was held at the Shanghai National Convention & Exhibition Center from November 5-10. Human Horizons, an innovative mobility technology company, joined the CIIE with Covestro, a Fortune 500 company and the world's leading polymer materials manufacturer, bringing HiPhi Z, a TECHLUXE® intelligent coupé. On November 6, HiPhi and Covestro signed the "Together for a Smart and Low-Carbon Mobility Future" agreement to further expand their cooperation and explore a sustainable smart mobility future together.

David Ding, Founder and Chairman of Human Horizons HiPhi, said: "The CIIE has always been a platform for us to efficiently connect to the world's top resources and build open cooperation. It is through CIIE that a start-up company like ours could work with global partners like Covestro and build world-class products, achieving rapid growth to win the praise of the market and our users. We and our partners also empower each other, allowing innovations to feedback to our partners and drive the global market and industries.”

In his speech, Dr. Markus Steilemann, CEO of Covestro, expressed that he was impressed by Human Horizons’commitment to transforming the mobility experience through innovative technology and building HiPhi as a global premium EV brand in China. HiPhi has been committed to pioneering low-carbon mobility solutions. At Covestro, we also launched our vision to achieve full recycling. Therefore, our ability to deepen our collaboration and work together to create next-generation mobility solutions, including the use of more low carbon footprint materials, will further drive carbon reduction for our customers and the automotive industry, as well as contribute to China's ‘dual carbon’ goal.

Pooling global resources to lead technological innovations

On November 6, HiPhi and Covestro signed the "Together for a Smart and Low-Carbon Mobility Future" agreement at CIIE. David Ding, Chairman and CEO of HiPhi, Dr. Chen Jun, Co-CTO of HiPhi (second from the right), Dr. Markus Steilemann, CEO of Covestro, and Wang Li, Global President of the Engineering Plastics Division of Covestro (second from the left) witnessed the signing online/offline. Rosa Zhang, COO of HiPhi (first from the right), and Mao Dongzhao, Vice President of China Automotive Business, Engineering Plastics Division of Covestro (first from the left), signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. 

HiPhi Z is a groundbreaking smart car product that combines the three characteristics of "future aesthetics, digital life, and the handling of the age of electronics". It was created by global resources pooled together. In its booth, the ISD intelligent interactive lights on the side doors interact with the audience through sequential light effects; onboard, digital life is fused with mechanics. HiPhi Bot, the unique intelligent in-car robot can make intelligent angle adjustments: front, back, left, right, tilt, and height adjustments in different scenarios. The multi-axis displacement system behind it supports 4 DoF and 8 directions of adjustment, enabling HiPhi Bot to have humanlike and intelligent interactions. These intelligent functions caught the audience’s attention, as they stopped at the booth and were excited by the experience.

"We are delighted to join hands with HiPhi to co-create solutions based on more recycled and sustainable materials for the automotive industry, helping to make the industry smarter and less carbon-intensive." "Covestro looks forward to working with more like-minded companies like HiPhi to accelerate this industry trend and transform to a circular economy," said Wang Li, Global President of the Engineering Plastics Division of Covestro.

The marbled recyclable carbon fiber composite material for vehicle interiors, developed jointly by HiPhi and Covestro, was on display on HiPhi Z show car at the booth. Not only does the material have a unique and innovative high-tech style, but it can also be recycled and reused. In addition, this recyclable carbon fiber material can reduce its weight by more than 30% compared to aluminum, making it lighter and stronger.

HiPhi Z is a groundbreaking smart car product that combines the three characteristics of "future aesthetics, digital life, and the handling of the age of electronics".

For HiPhi X, HiPhi’s first flagship model and a supercar SUV, HiPhi and Covestro have developed a complete set of materials for intelligent interactive surfaces. The materials have both stability and impact-resistant structures while guaranteeing a high-gloss appearance. Most importantly, the materials meet the requirements of infrared transparency, transforming HiPhi X's B-pillar into a "magic key" for opening doors. It can realize intelligent requirements such as infrared cameras, facial recognition, intelligent display, and touch sensing.

In addition, HiPhi Z is equipped with a 13.2-degree rear-wheel steering system from Aisin, Orin chips from Nvidia, a "true 3D" intelligent cockpit created by Epic Games Unreal engine, and other innovative products from companies such as Bosch, Continental, Dow, and Covestro. On the platform of CIIE, HiPhi efficiently connects with global resources to create world-class intelligent EVs. More importantly, HiPhi once again demonstrates the strength of Chinese enterprises in innovations and R&D in the field of intelligent EVs, creatively promoting innovations in the industry, creating a multi-dimensional win-win situation, empowering the global market with Chinese innovations, and sharing development opportunities.
